Thank you so much for saving me $100 on a pre built Button Box. Just finished mine today and it's perfect.

I love those little USB boards, super simple and cheap and no-fuss in the function.

amstudio in the future: Add a real inline 6 engine in the front of your sim setup mod. XD

and with your teachings i can now build myself a nice sim setup that can be 100% custom. thank you good sir!

I didn't know i've needed this. Awesome

This channel is the only one I trust when it comes to: Custom wheel, custom shifter, Etc. they are so helpful!

Not gonna lie if I had this as my power button for my pic that would be lit

For everyone who have a problem with both button signals activating I have a simple solution. I've heard that white is negative and blue is positive. So if the current (or if you want to be precise the free electrons) flows from + to -, than you need to: 1. connect two blue wires to the battery terminal 2. connect one white wire to the ignition terminal 3. connect the second white wire to the start terminal (or in other words just flip the colors) The problem of connecting two white wires to the battery teminal is once you activate the ignition terminal the current flows from ingnition to battery terminal to which are both white wires connected. This results in completing the circuit on both connections which you can see on your computer as the activation of both buttons. So if you connect two blue wires to the battery terminal as I suggested the signal process should look like this: 1) When you activate ignition terminal the current flows only to the one white wire so only one button signal is activated 2) When you activate the start terminal the current in theory should flow to the start teminal which only activates the second button. However, insted you'll probably see both buttons activated. This happens because the ignition terminal is still activated even when you turn the key to the start position. This doesn't affect the gameplay, though. You've already activated the ignition so all you need to do is start the motor (in real car the ignition turns on the electronics which are needed during the whole drive while the starter is needed only in the begining, that's why the ignition is on even in the start position). When you want to turn off the motor you just turn the key again to the start position and than you turn it all the way back untill you can take it away. It's that simple. If you don't believe me (a high scholer who studies physics and chemistry) than you can try something else but I'm 100% sure this will work.

Legend. Thank you so mutch. I orderd my parts for my summer project button box yesterday. Using that usb encoder. I could find any good video's of conecting the wires. Thank you so much!

Here is my next project, thanx! Love all the mods, keep 'em commin'

This is just what I was looking for, thank you for an awesome video as always! :D

I would never have thought about something like this! Really cool idea!

I've been thinking about installing a key ignition on my fanatec wheel and put some led lights inside the wheelbase, so when I turn the key to ACC on the led's light up inside then when I hit the ignition the wheel will power up and calibrate. You've inspired me to get it done

I'm definitly gonna make this.

This makes me wish I had a farm sim simulator setup as that would be so cool

I love your videos they are simple explayned and easy to do.GREAT!

I had done this a while ago but never thought about the push button start great video as always!! ☺️ edit; could you do a video of how to wire up 4 axis potentiometer joysticks.

Love your videos, good quality and easy to remember I just got my own Logitech g920, and soon I will make some of your mods Keep the good work going

This is just absolutely amazing

This is actually really easy to do! Thanks for sharing! Great video :)

i did this without watching your videos and somehow youtube is now showing me your videos. maybe they must have caught me searching switches on google. now, i'm stuck here watching all your videos cos they are interesting. good job

It's a coincidence that I've got that exact key barrel on my way, should be arriving tomorrow (after waiting 2 weeks on postage)

The quality of the videos and the gadgets you make for sim games is amazing. I know you subscriber count isn’t that low but you still deserve a higher sub and view count. Keep it up.👍🏻👌🏻

Hi there I'm super thankful for this tutorial. it worked for me along with another wire from the Ign to Acc. keep up the good work 👍

With a spanner! Love the accent haha, and great video as always.

excellent as always, thank you so much for sharing!

You know what im doing during quarantine this lol I’m sitting at my kitchen counter doing it as I write it!

Muchas gracias por enseñarnos hacer estas cosas,el mejor canal

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS!!!!

really cool, I got to adapt the key switch as the main power start for my pc now. . . .

im in project farming simulator and all you video can i use good job

Ok. Second Video I have viewed. Just realised you do all simulator setup tutorials! You are just what I have been looking for. You have gained a sub from me!

so clear really nice video

Nice as always

I have to make this for my truck sim rig!

i would 100% use this as my desk button box for powering on my pc and speakers and maybe a lamp

I will make this thank you for idea!

I like this diy because its no extra software and its also cheap and theres also no extra tools if you choose the key ignition

this might be the clearest DIY button box video ever. Good job and thank you! Also thank you for resisting the temptation to waffle on for 15 minutes about nothing and just getting on with it!

Love your videos! Keep up the great work. Cheers!

thank you for not wasting my time on youtube Best DiY sim-games channel Good luck for the next works bro

Just. Amazing

Very helpful as I somehow bought the exact same ignition.

This is so cool im going to make this on my setup thanks!❤

Your videos are just the great greetings from Germany

I was thinking about this

Just got a Logitech G920 and pedals and I’m getting this just to mount to my desk to start cars and I am not a I racing guy but I love this stuff

Man.....you always impress me.

This is so nice!

I would have wired the engine start button through either the toggle switch or the ACC terminal on the ignition key for extra realism, plus you'd have a way to visually check with a glance if the ignition was physically on or off.

NICE MAAAN, love it!

Good video ! 👋🏻👌🏻

This is what i looking for 😁

I need this for my ets2 setup :D

Very nice!

This is sick!

Very Nice!!

Use the switch and button for nitrous or suspension!!!

This would be cool to have as a startup for your pc. you could possibly fit it in the cd drive slot if you dont have one.

Question: can I daisy chain the 5v to include 4 led momentary led push buttons? (using this specific board, not the arduino), thank so much for your superb videos!

Soooo, how do you put this (I'm mainly focusing on the engine start/stop button, as I'm gonna use this for ETS2) into your 32 function button box?

Good video dude I will probably do the wireing a bit different but still good vid

Nice video

Very nice bro

Hey Amstudio! I'm really new to all this, but wanted to make a button box for Star Citizen and wanted to use a key for part of the self destruct sequence and saw this. What exactly is the difference between using a USB Encoder vs an Arduino? When would I want to use a USB encoder over an Arduino and vice versa?

Fantastic.

Спасибо огромное за идеи и видео!

It's so awesome...😀😀

Niceeee vid otw to realism

Very Cool !!!!

Hey Amstudio, can you expand on the switch’s positions with the key and what they do actually? Thank you

Low key want this to start my PC up

This is so cool! Do you know how I can mount all 3?

Next thing I know, he’s gonna make a video on how to wire a spaceship

i was watching this so i can build one for american truck simulator, i was wondering, is it possible to have it function like a normal ignition switch? i dont want to tap it twice just to start it, Acc for Acc, Spring action to start like normal car?

Love for amstudio 😊❤

How do you set it up in game cause I’m only getting one thing so I can’t put one with the electricity, and the next one on the start

Can you please make a video where you use the same motherboard for the other button box

Any details on the toggle switch? can't find a SPST with momentary. there's all eaither on or off. all I can find is momentary SPDT. assuming a safty cover wouldn't work on a SPDT as it would put the switch in the on position for the second function.

You've earned yourself a subscriber, fu*$&ng legend.

Make more gauges I love those

Regarding the ignition switch (with red cover) + engine start/stop buttons: Would it be possible - using a Pro Micro - to connect things in such a way that when you flip the switch the engine button LED lits up? And then when you flip the ignition off the engine button LED turns off again?

I love your tutorials. I'm going to make a collective/throttle for a flight simulator. My problem is the potentiometers in the joystick are analogue, and the joystick is a "gameport" connector. I think the easiest way to get it to work is to pay £20 for a Gameport to USB connector (or buy a USB joystick to mod). Hmmmmmm Hmmmmm

im just gonna use the keyed switch as a power switch for the whole setup

thats coooool

How many of those push button LED switches do you think you can hook up to the 5V output on Audriono Leonardo in series?

would you be able to use toggle switches that stay on?

Awesome but if I want to use accessories then I just need to use another blue cable right?

Great video mate! I might have to do this one aswell, I made the tachometer one already. Quick question do your G29 pedal mods work on G27/G25 pedals? Specifically the Inverted Pedals mod and To USB mod, and if those two work the FFB pedals as well. I was thinking about picking up a pair of used G27 ones if they were able to be used. Great stuff! Would love to see a G29 shifter to USB video!

What size are the ring terminals please?

The joystick encoder does have 8-bit analog input, right? :D. I need that for handbrake.

nice

My 2007 Toyota fielder NZE 141G is giving me headaches. It's push start button. The motherboard to the remote control is messed up. Thanks for the information.

For the led engine start stop light on the button what is the minimum voltage you can use to power it, I thought they had to be 12v?

Hi i have a doubt ¿i can use only one Joystick Encoder for make this sim button box and the mod for the logitech shifter mod 18 speeds?

Do I need 2 usb joystick encoders to use the key ignition, momentary toggle switch and engine start button?

awesome video, im new to the world of pc racing, just wondering if you could do a video on how to put together a speedo and tacho using real car instruments? id love to put in a car dashboard but have no idea what im doing

Great vid! Just one question, how do I put all of the buttons onto the carbon?

if you mapped ignition to the accessory on the key switch, could it then work like a normal car as the first click will initiate the ignition and the the turn of the key as the starter?

If I want to use all the terminals do I connect the white wire to every ground
